Experimenting with a small batch chai tea spice mix recipe for my morning black tea. No special ingredients—a simple mix with things already in my kitchen.
To make the mix:
- 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp ground ginger
- 1 Tbsp ground turmeric
- a few dashes of ground black pepper (I think it’s 8:1 turmeric to black pepper to help the bioavailability of the turmeric)
To make the tea: Steep 1/2 Tbsp loose black tea with 1/2 tsp chai mix, in a cloth spice/tea bag, in boiling water.
I drink standard Irish or British black tea blends, because let’s face it, they know how to make a good cuppa. Barry’s Gold Blend and PG Tips are favorites.
